Seto Art Residency at Salt Road Studio is a fully funded international artist residency located in Akō, Japan, a historic coastal city along the Seto Inland Sea. Designed for contemporary visual artists, the residency provides time, space, and financial support to develop new work while engaging with Japanese culture, community, and landscape.

Each year, only three artists are selected for a three-week residency experience. The program includes round-trip airfare, accommodations, studio space, and a stipend, allowing participants to focus entirely on their creative practice. Artists live and work together in a collaborative environment that encourages experimentation, dialogue, and cross-cultural exchange.

Founded by artist and curator Gina Keatley, Salt Road Studio connects creative communities between Japan and New York City while supporting emerging and established artists from around the world. The residency welcomes painters, sculptors, mixed-media artists, photographers, and interdisciplinary practitioners seeking an immersive international art residency experience.

Art on the Block NYC was established with the dual purpose of making art more accessible to the general public and offering practicing artists a venue to create and display their artwork. Through short-term residencies in a New York City storefront, Art on the Block NYC seeks to spotlight these artists. Throughout these residencies, artists will transform the space into their studio and exhibition space, while simultaneously hosting programs for youth, families, and adults. These programs include art-making workshops, artist interviews, and more. The overarching goal of Art on the Block NYC is to support and advocate for artists while providing local communities with opportunities to engage with art.

Art on the Block NYC fosters a vibrant community by offering a dynamic platform where artists and the public unite. We are dedicated to cultivating an environment where art creation and interactive experiences thrive, enabling hands-on engagement and accessible programming for all. Our mission is to empower artists, inspire community collaboration, and enrich lives through the transformative power of art.

Stone Quarry’s Visiting Artist Program focuses on artists’ engagements with the landscape in a variety of materials, approaches, and disciplines. Stone Quarry envisions the park as a boundary object, a space that anyone can imagine, contribute, and collectively shape. The Visiting Artist Program positions responsiveness and collaboration at its center to create inclusive and equitable relationships with artists. Visiting Artists are awarded a stipend to create a project on the grounds. The Program is both process and project-based, which makes each artist’s conversation and time with Stone Quarry designed to fit the needs of the artist and their work. 

We do not accept submissions for this program. Stone Quarry's Artistic Director administers invitations to participate in the visiting artist program. This process is guided by an Art Advisory Committee, a group of independent artists and scholars whose wide-ranging expertise informs the programming and advances the organization's commitment to equitable and inclusive practices.
